Upul Tharanga to replace Tillakaratne Dilshan

Scans after Thursday’s Champions Trophy semi-final against India showed Dilshan had suffered a calf muscle tear and will be in recovery for up to six weeks.

Upul Tharanga

Tharanga has been out of the national team since earlier this year but played first class cricket where he averaged more than 60 in 14 innings.

Also missing from the touring Sri Lanka team is Thisara Perera who has been replaced by spinner Ajantha mendis. Sri Lanka play the West Indies in the opening match at Sabina Park on June 28, and India on July 2 at the same venue before the series shifts to Trinidad.
